Charity information

The Kindu Trust

The Kindu Trust is a small charity working in northern Ethiopia that supports children and young adults through sponsorship, educational support projects and income generating activities, to bring an improvement to their lives and future.

The Kindu Trust’s mission is to create economically independent, healthier and productive communities in Ethiopia. To achieve this mission, The Kindu Trust runs a number of projects that tackle the underlying causes of poverty.
The Kindu Trust's community development work reaches over 380 families across Ethiopia; and enables the child and their families to access the following essentials:

* Obtain food, fuel and shelter.
* Access health clinics and medicine for the family.
* Enrol into formal education and vocational training.
* Provide peer support for families living with HIV through coffee mornings.
* Develop small businesses and other income generation activities.
* Home & community improvements: water and electricity installation, community biogas sanitation projects, and energy conservation.

The Kindu Klub youth group, and the Play Group, provide children in Gondar with a place to learn and a safe environment for play outside of school hours. The library provides resources to ensure the children are able to complete their homework, use computers, and weekly sports club promotes physical exercise and team work.

The rationale behind our approach is to support the family and community to become economically independent, healthier and productive citizens.
